84 & was about to go on tour again a month ago. Starting to think none of these music types have a retirement fund/plan.

A lot of them were financially shafted by management/hangers on. Leonard Cohen was only one example. Bop 'til ya drop for them. I dunno about Lightfoot,or how canny he was with money,maybe he was just addicted to the show,that often lingers regardless of age or remaining ability.

Case in point... hilarious Rolling Stones video of Jagger dancing with the sound track removed & other members of the band looking at him like "You fucking plonker".
